If there are any drunk Canadians driving into town for the race weekend and need a spot to camp out, just let me know... We got rid of our big half-pipe in the backyard (it's been relocated as a mini ramp in my bedroom), so there's now tons of room for tents/camping out back.

Also, if anyone needs a place to hang out between the race and the Earthwing loft party at 8pm, feel free to come out to the Woodside flophouse for the afternoon -- I'll get Alex and Brian to set up some slacklines and stuff. We might also plan a big Brooklyn Banks session in the afternoon as well, and maybe slides at the Watchtower hill.

Everyone make sure to skate safe!!!

The race is never that organized to keep accurate times. All the winning times of past years are mere judgements. I came in 2nd place one year and was like a good minute or more behind Kaspar and the article in Concrete Wave had me .10 seconds behind Kaspar. Its all good ... but definitely not as accurate as I'd like it to be.

I got a 4 and a half minute mile as of today since I finally timed myself. I figure if I keep this time then I'll probably finish in under 25 which is my goal for this year.

I was there with my camera taking pictures. I arrived at that 18 minute figure by checking the time-stamps on the pictures from the chaotic start to Kaspar's finish.

I don't get it...what is Kaspar's secret, besides being a beast at kicking? What kind of setup does he ride? He rules the New York push scene.

Oh man, I was just looking through my photos from last year and remembering what a great day that was...

Here's the photos for anyone who needs some inspiration for this year's race:

If I remember correctly, in past years Kaspar has trained through the winter with cross-country skiiers training for the Olympics, so he's in pretty amazing shape with unbelievable endurance. In terms of skating, he pushes equally strong with both legs and has a long push-stride, really fast for flat-land races. He is competitive and refuses to lose. Every year, Brian from Earthwing designs a lightweight, composite, low-profile drop-through deck in the general style of the Supercharger for Kaspar to race. I think he rode Randals and Flywheels last year (photo below is his exact setup):

Kaspar Spurgeon (1st place)


Also watch out for Adam Colton, Adam S, James Solladay, and Adam Dubonka -- they are usually tailing Kaspar close behind and are all due for a win. James Solladay raced last year with the flu and still came in sixth.

Adam Colton (2nd place)

Adam S (3rd place)

Some of the younger Beast Coast skaters are gonna step it up this year; I'm watching out for Noah Bondy for a TOP 3 finish... Noah finished 7th last year in his first Central Park race, and just competed in the States for cross country running in New York this spring. He's gonna be solid if he races Central Park this year.

I really like how he removes all the excess thane to make his push racing board lighter, its not like he needs all the grip...

I'm happy I still have my Gen2 74mm fly's, possibly the lightest good longboard wheel ever to exist.

This building is a perfect party location with a half pipe in the Earthwing space and a huge roof where we are going to have some bands play...
